For me it is one of the most beautiful cities I\u00b4ve ever seen. The difficult part is finding a \u201cgood weather weekend\u201d \u2013 luckily I had such nice weather on my trip, that I could wear a T-shirt and shorts, pretty cool! Friends of mine had really bad weather; it was raining the whole weekend.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Accommodation in Vancouver<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/The-Steam-Clock-at-Gastown_small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-31523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/The-Steam-Clock-at-Gastown_small-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/The-Steam-Clock-at-Gastown_small-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/The-Steam-Clock-at-Gastown_small-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/The-Steam-Clock-at-Gastown_small-1080x1440.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIf you need an accommodation I can recommend two good options. First the HI International Hostel on the Granville Street \u2013 it is direct in downtown and Granville Street has a lot of clubs and bars, so you have a huge choice for the nightlife. For sure there are lots of shopping opportunities and places for food. The Robson Street crosses Granville Street and here you can eat the best burger in town! It is called the \u201cFive guys\u201d and you can order a basic burger and then you can add so much toppings as you want and you don\u00b4t have to pay them \u2013 so use it! And you don\u00b4t have to order French fries because they will give you fries anyway. The second accommodation option is the Sandman Hotel \u2013 friends of mine were there and they paid 30 CAD a night; the same price you pay at the hostel. But if you\u00b4re going to the Hotel you have no breakfast, in the hostel you have some breakfast.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Capilano Suspension Bridge<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\nI like the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park \u2013 it is a little bit out of town. You can get there by waterbus on the waterfront for 2,75 CAD. It will take you to the other side of Vancouver and there you can take the bus to the Suspension bridge. There is also a free shuttle to the bridge which leaves around 2 o\u00b4clock at the Canada Place on the Waterfront, too. You have to pay 25 CAD for the park \u2013 it sounds much but it\u00b4s worth it, believe me.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stanley Park<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/The-Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-nothing-for-people-with-fear-of-heights_klein.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-31508\" src=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/The-Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-nothing-for-people-with-fear-of-heights_klein-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/The-Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-nothing-for-people-with-fear-of-heights_klein-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/The-Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-nothing-for-people-with-fear-of-heights_klein-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.international-student-office.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/The-Capilano-Suspension-Bridge-nothing-for-people-with-fear-of-heights_klein-1080x810.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe Stanley Park is also pretty nice with all the First Nations arts and the huge trees and the beautiful flowers. You can walk there for a long time and enjoy the nature \u2013 and it\u00b4s cheap, you don\u00b4t have to pay anything.\u00a0 Friends of mine told me that Yaletown district is pretty cool, but I wasn\u00b4t there so I can just give you the name. Some other nice sightseeing points are Gastown, the National art gallery, waterfront, the UBC Museum of Anthropology, Vancouver Aquarium, Grouse Mountain and Granville Island.<br \/>\nIf you want to go clubbing I can recommend the Joseph Richard Nightclub. It\u00b4s not a huge club, but it\u00b4s pretty nice. The club is close to the HI Hostel \u2013maybe one minute, just across the street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Day in Vancouver Report by Anja H.
